Life of Noah

What were familiar Bible characters like before they became known for doing epic deeds and having epically long, white beards?

Characters in the Bible were just like many of us—flawed but hungering for purpose, having faith in God but not always going about things in conventional ways. Welcome, aliens, to Volume 2, with more to follow!
